Making Predictions in Reading

The video tutorial guides students through analyzing book illustrations to make predictions about the story. The teacher demonstrates this process using a book read previously and introduces a new book, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, to model the strategy. Students are encouraged to make predictions, revisit them, and revise as needed. The session concludes with a student activity to apply the learned strategy.
